' The Columbus Gas company, it seems, is not a corporation subject to the laws of the State, whose business it is to manufacture gaa light and coke. On the contrary, it is a Supreme Court, of higher authority . than law or gospel. It sits upon the laws, and . determines their validity, ez parte. It does not wait for a case to be made it decides in the inajesty of its own bosom. The creature of the law Is higher than- the law higher than the fountain head Of the 'law. It is "a law unto itself," like the Almighty and Susan B. Anthony".' T(B editor of the Cincinnati Commercial complains of the sanitary effects of Columbus whisky. One should be careful about controverting the views of an able expert, but most Clncinnatians say there is in fact little difference between Columbus whisky and Cincinnati water. This fact, which seems so unaccountable at first yiew, is accounted for by.a niem-b'er"ofthe Tyndalt Assoclatidn,on the ground tha- most of our whisky eomes- from Cincinnati. Perhaps it is the watery Mate that makes the editor of the Commercial sick. ...nl'iiir :ft''"-i Wk hope no one will take advantage of the unsophisticated Innocence of certain Congressmen to put off worthless stocks on them. ' The poor fellows buy without knowing what they buy, and believe everything the seller tells them. . It would not surprise us to see some sharper come along and sell them Confederate State bonds. They are guileless enough for anything.' Congress ought to pass a law protecting them. ;: Mrs. H. H. Peters, 430 South High street in this city, has the champion hen. . This hen just takes her knitting out with her, site down on a flour barrel for a few minutes, and lays an egg weighing three ounces, and measuring eight inches by six and a quarter Inches around. She then converas in an affable manner with other society' hens, without the slightest apparent disposition to boast of her an. cestry. . . Mr. Ginebv Twichkm. is undoubtedly a bad man. He not only votes for bills in Congress in which lie is personally in. terested, but lobbies for them. But much .ought to be forgiven to a man whose name is Glnery Twichell. He might almost be forgiven for making an aasauUon his god- father. ' The Blade asks if it is impossible for ' the Toledo Commercial to tell the truth. If the Blade ia waiting for an opportunity to compliment the Commercial it had better not wait any longer for any thing in - thai line, but just put iri and 'say a good word shout it consistency.-' The verdict of Congress with reference to moat of the Credit Mobilier purchasers . teams to be, that these men were virtuous . but they, hare no sense. They were ' honest, but foolish. They bought wicked bonds with a godly Ignorance. - Bra Bittlxk placed the responsibility on the only shoulders able to bear it, when he said, I am a man who was made by God, and sot by the newspapers." BaiKKSaaotT is at It again. Heiay, -iiheto sen xuvuuDUbsrasiia Ohio. .1 .-i - HrDMJJcaanHsjWBWek ' It is difficult to understand just what the Opposition would require of the Pres. ident, with reference to the Louisiana dif ficulty. He has declined to Interfere, as far as interference could be avoided ; and in interfering he has simply allowed the Ezecutivo to support the Judiciary, in a decision which, however erroneous, was surely in ample form to command obedience until overruled by a court of competent jurisdiction. The only objection the ablest Democratic speakers and jour-nalisto seem to make is, that the decision of the United States judge was erroneous. The President may have been of opinion thai the' decision' was. erroneous surely the abler and mora, candid of his opponents will not therefore hold that it was his duty to disregard or sot aside a judicial decision? ' Is the Executive to review the decisions of the United States Courts, and set Up a'different ruling in any case where the President fails to be convinced by the reasoning of the tourt? This seems to be the opinion of some of the Opposition, in the convenient case of Judge Durell, If the opinion of Judge Durell had been such as to decide the Louisiana ease the other way, doubtless these gentlemen of the Opposition would have found strong reasons for preserving the independence of the judiciary, and would have been ready with their hottest invectives against President Grant if be had decided to do wha.tr they now blame him for not doing. . - ...., From the rabble'of the party we do not hope for any. thing but abuse for whatever the President, may do, , But we confess to some astonishment upon finding such a man as Senator Thurman, and such a journal as the St. Louis Republican, blaming the President for upholding the decision of a U. S. Court, and rebuking the Executive because it does not set aside a decision of the Judiciary. If the President has jurisdiction to set it aside, the Court had jurisdiction to make it so there is no room' to ask the President to interfere upon the ground that the Court exceeded its powers. And, with all the more reason, we contend, has he no power to review or set aside, or even consider whether he will set aside upon any contingency, a decision in due form of a United States Court. The decision of Judge Durell in the Louisiana caseliappens to bo disagreeable to the Opposition. If it were otherwise they would be the strongest advocates of the principles we insist upon, not alone for this case, but for all cases. The principle laid down by the President of the Gas Company in his communication of yesterday, seems to be, that the purchaser of an article is bound to furnish the measure for ascertaining the quantity of it. Or, if the buyer fails to furnish the proper measure, the seller must fnrnish it, and charge an exemplary price for the use of it. Under this able ruling we shall expect to see the stock. holders' of the Gas Company attending market accompanied by a wagonload of scales, peck and half-bushel measures, and the like. " The gentleman who goes to purchase forage for his horses must take a pair of hay scales with him. The buyer of groceries must take along his weights and measures ; the lady who buys dry goods must carry a yardstick 'With her, &c, &c. If they foil, the grocer, merchant or other seller may buy a separate 'measure for 'each , customer, and charge each one twenty-five cents a month for the use of it. Our merchants are neg. lecting their privileges in this matter.

Agreed to, Mr. Butler of Massachusetts, from the Judiciary committee, presented the resolution for the appointmentof a committee to go to the Senate for the impeachment of Judge Delahay, of Kansas. The testimony which has been taken shows habitual intoxication on the part of Delahay. Formal action only was expected this session. The resolution was adopted. The conference report on pension lawB was agreed to. ' 1 The rules were suspended, and Mr. Wilson of Indiana offered a bill directing the Attorney General to commence suits against the Union Pacific Railroad company Jfor the recovery of moneys and property which equitably belongs to the United States. 1 . ' The House went into committee of the Whole, Mr. Dawes in the chair, and resumed consideration of the Senate amendments to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill. ... Mr. Sargent took the floor and made a speech against an increase of salaries, prefacing it with the remark that as there was no chance of appropriation bills being passed loaded down as they were with incongruous legislation, he was justified in consuming some time in debate. Considerable frivolous debate ensued, chiefly between Messrs. Stevenson and Dickey, in reference to Senate amendment in relation to interest paid for the Pacific railroad. " The committee on Appropriations reo-ommended a substitute for it as follows : And the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to withhold nil payments to any railroad company and its assigns on account of freight or transportation over their respective roads, of any kind, to the amount of the payments made by the United States for interest upon bonds of the United States issued to any such company, and which shall not have been reimbursed; and any such company may bring suit in the Court of Claims to recover so much freight and transportation as shall have been withheld, and in such suit the right of such company to recover the same upon law and the facts of the case shall be determined, and also the rights of the United States upon the merits of all points presented in answer thereto by them; and the jurisdiction and power of said court in any such suit shall be the same as in other actions therein, and its judgment therein and transcript thereof shall have the same force and effect as in other cases of claims against Government in said court ; and either party to such suit may appeal to the Supreme Court, and both of said courts shall give such cause or causes precedence of all other business. Mr, Wood moved to amend the committee's amendment by the words " on and after the 1st of January next." After a long discussion the committee proceeded to vote on the amendment of fered by Mr. llolman. The proceedings were interrupted Dy making a point of order that Mr. Hooper was interested in the Union i'aciac rail road, and therefore not entitled to vote. The chairman decided it was a question for conscience for each member, whether he was bo interested as to bring him with in the scope of the rule. The question caused a good ueni oi trouble and confusion, and finally, on motion of Mr. Garfield, the committee rose and reported the matter to the Houbb. The HpeaKer stated as a matter or par liamentary law it was laid down in the rules, that where the interest is direct the members have no right to vote, in this case, if the gentleman from Massachu setts (Mr. Hooper) was a stockholder in this railroad, the Chair would rule that he had no right to vote. The difference between the case of that of a stockholder in a national bank was, that the latter was a general interest, held by all classes of people, .The Chair would hold that no mint could be made on a stock-tolder in a national bank voting on the question relating to national banks; but if a stockholder in a single corporation, as in this case, had his vote challenged it would bo the duty of the Chair to hold that if he were an active stockholder, he had no right to vote. Mr. Randall That decUion docs you honor. - Mr. Speaker It's a decision which the Chair has made without any knowledgeof fact, and therefore he submits the question of fact to the gentleman from Massachusetts himself. Mr. Hooper stated he was indirectly a stockholder of the Union Pacific Railroad company ; he had not intended to vote on the question ; he had not listened to the debate and had been writing at his desk when he heard the chairman call on all members to vote in order to make a quorum; he had voted inadvertently and asked to withdraw his vote. The House then went into committee of the Whole and Mr. Holman s amendment was rejected : so was Mr. Woods's. Without disposing of the committee's amendment, the committee rose, and the House at o p. m. took a recess till 8. p. m EVENING BESSION. Mr. Maynard moved as a privilegi nuestion that Joseph B. Stewart, who it in custody as a recusant witness, be discharged. Agreed to. The House, after various matters had been disposed of, by unanimous consent went into committee ot the Whole, Air. Dawes in the chair, on the Senate amend ments to the Legislative Appropriation bill, the question being on the substitute reported by the committee on Appropria tions for the Senate amendment directing the withholding of the earnings for Uov. eminent transportation due the Pacific railroad companies. Mr. Wilson ottered to add to the auosti- tute a bill reported by his select commit tee, on the subject of the Union Pacific Railroad company ; the same for the admission of which the rules were suspend ed to-day. The question was discussed by Messrs. Wilson, tloar, (urgent, longer, Kerr, Garheld, bhcllabarger, (Jox and togblan Various propositions to further amend. ments were made and rejected, and finally Mr. Wilsons amendment, modified in some unimportant particulars, was agreed to. finally the committee's substitute was also adopted. 1 here waa a great deal ot excitement and confusion over the question of the increase ot salaries, which question was about to be reopened by amendments from the oommittee on Appropriations, for tne beneht of employes of the House. and which were to be tacked on Butler's amendment. The difficulty was avoided. However, by the abandon- ment of the proposed amendments, and the committee rose and reported the bill. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts then mov ed to suspend the rales and concur in the Benate amndnnta a modiBed. Mr. Hawler tried to tar that that would cut off debate on the separate amendments, bni he was prevented by loud calls of order, The motion to . suspend the rules did not prevail. The House then proceeded to vote on the amendments in detail. The Arst im portant amendment was that increasing the salaries ol the rresment, uauinci oni-cers, Supreme Court Judges and members of Congress. The amendment was rejected yeas 68, nays 121. ' Mr. Butler of Msssachusetta having changed his vote from aye to no, moved to reconsider the vote and then moved an adjournment. The latter motion prevailed, and at 11:30 the Honee adjourned, BENATE. : The session of the Senate last night on the bill providing for a new election in Louisiana was protracted nntil half past one this a. m., when an amendment was adopted by a vote of 22 yeas to 20 nays, retaining the .

A communication in your paper of the 21st inst., signed "X," propounds certain questions to rue, as a candidate for a seat in the Constitutional Convention, which might be a text for a long communication on the subject of the sale or prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors.'- This subject has been discussed in the press and on the forum since my earliest recollec tions. Constitutional Conventions, Legislatures and courts have for years considered it, and at this day, in my judgment, public opinion is as nnsettled ss when it was commenced; and so far as the total prohibitionists are concerned they are to be satisfied only by the adoption of their views. In my judgment the inefficiency of "prohibiting" the drinking or sale ot liquors, Deers, ales, c, oy Btringent or penal laws, has been fully shown by the experience of the past. The manufacture of fermented liquors in the United States, and in all other countries on the globe, has been recognized as a legitimate business, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, and is one of the largest items in tin. trade, and commerce of the world. and we may well conclude that so long as corn, wheat, barley and grapes grow, fermented liquors will be made and sold, snd drank, and used for all other par- rs for which they may be wanted the Deoole; and the fact that a great many people drink too much and kill themselves, or do injury to others, cannot stop it any more than yon can stop (hs manufacture of other articles with which men perpetrate injur? upon them. selves and others. It is admitted that such legislation can and ought to be had as will regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, so that, so far as possible, tlm In. juries arising from the excessive use thereof may be prevented; but in my judgment the recent legislation had upon that subject has been totally defective, doing great injustice to property holders and those who are engaged in the trade, and at the same time doing no good for those who are so constituted as to require total absti. nence. Without going into a lengthy ex. amination of the several laws passed on this subject, I will state for the informa tion of "X," the gentleman who is "of the same political faith," and who "en. tertains a high regard" for me as a citi zen, that I am in favor of a well regulated and reasonable license system, and if nominated and elected, shall so vole and use what influence 1 may possess to that end, believing, as I do, that the present system is unsatisfactory to nine-tenths of the peo ple of the State. Under a provision of tne constitution granting licenses, as in New York and nearly all the States in the Union, such legislation may be had as in my judgment will be satisfactory to all of the reasonable people of the State, whereby a revenue may be derived, and persons engaged in the sale of the same be protected in their business, as other persons in business, when it ia properly carried on ; if not properly conducted, and the privilege abused, I would suppress it under the general police laws, as all disorderly places of any kind of business are suppressed. The details of such a law is not in tho province of a Constitutional Convention, out of the Legislature elected to carry out the provisions of the constitution. As to the "Adair law," I would so vote as to preserve "the principles of that or any other law" without any questions as to their "validity." There are provisions in the "Adair" law which, in my judgment, are wrong and unjust, and which would be inconsistent with a provision of the constitution authorizing the Legislature to grant licenses, and also, as I believe, in violation of the constitution as it now stands. Believing this, I would not be in favor of preserving its principles without questioning its "validity." I might write more on this prolific subject, but it is not the only question that the people are interested in, and as I intended only to try and satisfy my friend "H " who is of the "same political faith," and who "entertains a high regard" for me "as a citizen," I will not tax my time nor your type further than to subscribe myself-Your obedient servant, J. J. Kickxy. The Boston Advertiser prints some valuable statistics showing what a golden opportunity the trouble in the English cool and Iron trades has furnished for the iron interests of this country. ' It appears that the production of American railroad iron in 1872 reached the unprecedented amount of 975,000 tons, an increase of 200,000 tons in one year. As compared with 1864 the production of last year shows an increase of 191 per cent, the amount in the former year having been only 835,000 tons. The importation - of rails from Great Britain in 1872 amounted to 472,760 tons, or 629,491 tons of 2000 pounds. In 1871 the proportion of English railroad iron to the entire consumption was more than forty-three per cent, but it was reduced for 1872 tothirty-five Tier cent, the sunnlv from Great Britain having actually diminished dur ing the' year, while the aggregate consumption was increased by more than 150,000 tons. Moreover, the prospects of the trade were never better than they are now. The foreign markets are in a most unsettled condition, our capacity of production is steadily increasing, and the de mand tor consumption goes on at an ac celerating ratio. .. . . New Advertisements.

' The Columbus Gas company, it seems, is not a corporation subject to the laws of the State, whose business it is to manufacture gaa light and coke.

Heiay, -iiheto sen xuvuuDUbsrasiia Ohio. .1 .-i - HrDMJJcaanHsjWBWek ' It is difficult to understand just what the Opposition would require of the Pres. ident, with reference to the Louisiana dif ficulty. He has declined to Interfere, as far as interference could be avoided ; and in interfering he has simply allowed the Ezecutivo to support the Judiciary, in a decision which, however erroneous, was surely in ample form to command obedience until overruled by a court of competent jurisdiction. The only objection the ablest Democratic speakers and jour-nalisto seem to make is, that the decision of the United States judge was erroneous. The President may have been of opinion thai the' decision' was. erroneous surely the abler and mora, candid of his opponents will not therefore hold that it was his duty to disregard or sot aside a judicial decision? ' Is the Executive to review the decisions of the United States Courts, and set Up a'different ruling in any case where the President fails to be convinced by the reasoning of the tourt? This seems to be the opinion of some of the Opposition, in the convenient case of Judge Durell, If the opinion of Judge Durell had been such as to decide the Louisiana ease the other way, doubtless these gentlemen of the Opposition would have found strong reasons for preserving the independence of the judiciary, and would have been ready with their hottest invectives against President Grant if be had decided to do wha.tr they now blame him for not doing. . - ...., From the rabble'of the party we do not hope for any. thing but abuse for whatever the President, may do, , But we confess to some astonishment upon finding such a man as Senator Thurman, and such a journal as the St. Louis Republican, blaming the President for upholding the decision of a U. S. Court, and rebuking the Executive because it does not set aside a decision of the Judiciary. If the President has jurisdiction to set it aside, the Court had jurisdiction to make it so there is no room' to ask the President to interfere upon the ground that the Court exceeded its powers. And, with all the more reason, we contend, has he no power to review or set aside, or even consider whether he will set aside upon any contingency, a decision in due form of a United States Court. The decision of Judge Durell in the Louisiana caseliappens to bo disagreeable to the Opposition. If it were otherwise they would be the strongest advocates of the principles we insist upon, not alone for this case, but for all cases. The principle laid down by the President of the Gas Company in his communication of yesterday, seems to be, that the purchaser of an article is bound to furnish the measure for ascertaining the quantity of it. Or, if the buyer fails to furnish the proper measure, the seller must fnrnish it, and charge an exemplary price for the use of it. Under this able ruling we shall expect to see the stock. holders' of the Gas Company attending market accompanied by a wagonload of scales, peck and half-bushel measures, and the like. " The gentleman who goes to purchase forage for his horses must take a pair of hay scales with him. The buyer of groceries must take along his weights and measures ; the lady who buys dry goods must carry a yardstick 'With her, &c, &c. If they foil, the grocer, merchant or other seller may buy a separate 'measure for 'each , customer, and charge each one twenty-five cents a month for the use of it. Our merchants are neg. lecting their privileges in this matter.

Agreed to, Mr. Butler of Massachusetts, from the Judiciary committee, presented the resolution for the appointmentof a committee to go to the Senate for the impeachment of Judge Delahay, of Kansas. The testimony which has been taken shows habitual intoxication on the part of Delahay. Formal action only was expected this session. The resolution was adopted. The conference report on pension lawB was agreed to. ' 1 The rules were suspended, and Mr. Wilson of Indiana offered a bill directing the Attorney General to commence suits against the Union Pacific Railroad company Jfor the recovery of moneys and property which equitably belongs to the United States. 1 . ' The House went into committee of the Whole, Mr. Dawes in the chair, and resumed consideration of the Senate amendments to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill. ... Mr. Sargent took the floor and made a speech against an increase of salaries, prefacing it with the remark that as there was no chance of appropriation bills being passed loaded down as they were with incongruous legislation, he was justified in consuming some time in debate. Considerable frivolous debate ensued, chiefly between Messrs. Stevenson and Dickey, in reference to Senate amendment in relation to interest paid for the Pacific railroad. " The committee on Appropriations reo-ommended a substitute for it as follows : And the Secretary of the Treasury is directed to withhold nil payments to any railroad company and its assigns on account of freight or transportation over their respective roads, of any kind, to the amount of the payments made by the United States for interest upon bonds of the United States issued to any such company, and which shall not have been reimbursed; and any such company may bring suit in the Court of Claims to recover so much freight and transportation as shall have been withheld, and in such suit the right of such company to recover the same upon law and the facts of the case shall be determined, and also the rights of the United States upon the merits of all points presented in answer thereto by them; and the jurisdiction and power of said court in any such suit shall be the same as in other actions therein, and its judgment therein and transcript thereof shall have the same force and effect as in other cases of claims against Government in said court ; and either party to such suit may appeal to the Supreme Court, and both of said courts shall give such cause or causes precedence of all other business. Mr, Wood moved to amend the committee's amendment by the words " on and after the 1st of January next." After a long discussion the committee proceeded to vote on the amendment of fered by Mr. llolman. The proceedings were interrupted Dy making a point of order that Mr. Hooper was interested in the Union i'aciac rail road, and therefore not entitled to vote. The chairman decided it was a question for conscience for each member, whether he was bo interested as to bring him with in the scope of the rule. The question caused a good ueni oi trouble and confusion, and finally, on motion of Mr. Garfield, the committee rose and reported the matter to the Houbb. The HpeaKer stated as a matter or par liamentary law it was laid down in the rules, that where the interest is direct the members have no right to vote, in this case, if the gentleman from Massachu setts (Mr. Hooper) was a stockholder in this railroad, the Chair would rule that he had no right to vote. The difference between the case of that of a stockholder in a national bank was, that the latter was a general interest, held by all classes of people, .The Chair would hold that no mint could be made on a stock-tolder in a national bank voting on the question relating to national banks; but if a stockholder in a single corporation, as in this case, had his vote challenged it would bo the duty of the Chair to hold that if he were an active stockholder, he had no right to vote. Mr. Randall That decUion docs you honor. - Mr. Speaker It's a decision which the Chair has made without any knowledgeof fact, and therefore he submits the question of fact to the gentleman from Massachusetts himself. Mr. Hooper stated he was indirectly a stockholder of the Union Pacific Railroad company ; he had not intended to vote on the question ; he had not listened to the debate and had been writing at his desk when he heard the chairman call on all members to vote in order to make a quorum; he had voted inadvertently and asked to withdraw his vote. The House then went into committee of the Whole and Mr. Holman s amendment was rejected : so was Mr. Woods's. Without disposing of the committee's amendment, the committee rose, and the House at o p. m. took a recess till 8. p. m EVENING BESSION. Mr. Maynard moved as a privilegi nuestion that Joseph B. Stewart, who it in custody as a recusant witness, be discharged. Agreed to. The House, after various matters had been disposed of, by unanimous consent went into committee ot the Whole, Air. Dawes in the chair, on the Senate amend ments to the Legislative Appropriation bill, the question being on the substitute reported by the committee on Appropria tions for the Senate amendment directing the withholding of the earnings for Uov. eminent transportation due the Pacific railroad companies. Mr. Wilson ottered to add to the auosti- tute a bill reported by his select commit tee, on the subject of the Union Pacific Railroad company ; the same for the admission of which the rules were suspend ed to-day. The question was discussed by Messrs. Wilson, tloar, (urgent, longer, Kerr, Garheld, bhcllabarger, (Jox and togblan Various propositions to further amend. ments were made and rejected, and finally Mr. Wilsons amendment, modified in some unimportant particulars, was agreed to. finally the committee's substitute was also adopted. 1 here waa a great deal ot excitement and confusion over the question of the increase ot salaries, which question was about to be reopened by amendments from the oommittee on Appropriations, for tne beneht of employes of the House. and which were to be tacked on Butler's amendment. The difficulty was avoided. However, by the abandon- ment of the proposed amendments, and the committee rose and reported the bill. Mr. Butler of Massachusetts then mov ed to suspend the rales and concur in the Benate amndnnta a modiBed. Mr. Hawler tried to tar that that would cut off debate on the separate amendments, bni he was prevented by loud calls of order, The motion to . suspend the rules did not prevail. The House then proceeded to vote on the amendments in detail. The Arst im portant amendment was that increasing the salaries ol the rresment, uauinci oni-cers, Supreme Court Judges and members of Congress. The amendment was rejected yeas 68, nays 121. ' Mr. Butler of Msssachusetta having changed his vote from aye to no, moved to reconsider the vote and then moved an adjournment. The latter motion prevailed, and at 11:30 the Honee adjourned, BENATE. : The session of the Senate last night on the bill providing for a new election in Louisiana was protracted nntil half past one this a. m., when an amendment was adopted by a vote of 22 yeas to 20 nays, retaining the .

A communication in your paper of the 21st inst., signed "X," propounds certain questions to rue, as a candidate for a seat in the Constitutional Convention, which might be a text for a long communication on the subject of the sale or prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors.'- This subject has been discussed in the press and on the forum since my earliest recollec tions. Constitutional Conventions, Legislatures and courts have for years considered it, and at this day, in my judgment, public opinion is as nnsettled ss when it was commenced; and so far as the total prohibitionists are concerned they are to be satisfied only by the adoption of their views. In my judgment the inefficiency of "prohibiting" the drinking or sale ot liquors, Deers, ales, c, oy Btringent or penal laws, has been fully shown by the experience of the past. The manufacture of fermented liquors in the United States, and in all other countries on the globe, has been recognized as a legitimate business, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, and is one of the largest items in tin. trade, and commerce of the world. and we may well conclude that so long as corn, wheat, barley and grapes grow, fermented liquors will be made and sold, snd drank, and used for all other par- rs for which they may be wanted the Deoole; and the fact that a great many people drink too much and kill themselves, or do injury to others, cannot stop it any more than yon can stop (hs manufacture of other articles with which men perpetrate injur? upon them. selves and others. It is admitted that such legislation can and ought to be had as will regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, so that, so far as possible, tlm In. juries arising from the excessive use thereof may be prevented; but in my judgment the recent legislation had upon that subject has been totally defective, doing great injustice to property holders and those who are engaged in the trade, and at the same time doing no good for those who are so constituted as to require total absti. nence. Without going into a lengthy ex. amination of the several laws passed on this subject, I will state for the informa tion of "X," the gentleman who is "of the same political faith," and who "en. tertains a high regard" for me as a citi zen, that I am in favor of a well regulated and reasonable license system, and if nominated and elected, shall so vole and use what influence 1 may possess to that end, believing, as I do, that the present system is unsatisfactory to nine-tenths of the peo ple of the State. Under a provision of tne constitution granting licenses, as in New York and nearly all the States in the Union, such legislation may be had as in my judgment will be satisfactory to all of the reasonable people of the State, whereby a revenue may be derived, and persons engaged in the sale of the same be protected in their business, as other persons in business, when it ia properly carried on ; if not properly conducted, and the privilege abused, I would suppress it under the general police laws, as all disorderly places of any kind of business are suppressed. The details of such a law is not in tho province of a Constitutional Convention, out of the Legislature elected to carry out the provisions of the constitution. As to the "Adair law," I would so vote as to preserve "the principles of that or any other law" without any questions as to their "validity." There are provisions in the "Adair" law which, in my judgment, are wrong and unjust, and which would be inconsistent with a provision of the constitution authorizing the Legislature to grant licenses, and also, as I believe, in violation of the constitution as it now stands. Believing this, I would not be in favor of preserving its principles without questioning its "validity." I might write more on this prolific subject, but it is not the only question that the people are interested in, and as I intended only to try and satisfy my friend "H " who is of the "same political faith," and who "entertains a high regard" for me "as a citizen," I will not tax my time nor your type further than to subscribe myself-Your obedient servant, J. J. Kickxy. The Boston Advertiser prints some valuable statistics showing what a golden opportunity the trouble in the English cool and Iron trades has furnished for the iron interests of this country. ' It appears that the production of American railroad iron in 1872 reached the unprecedented amount of 975,000 tons, an increase of 200,000 tons in one year. As compared with 1864 the production of last year shows an increase of 191 per cent, the amount in the former year having been only 835,000 tons. The importation - of rails from Great Britain in 1872 amounted to 472,760 tons, or 629,491 tons of 2000 pounds. In 1871 the proportion of English railroad iron to the entire consumption was more than forty-three per cent, but it was reduced for 1872 tothirty-five Tier cent, the sunnlv from Great Britain having actually diminished dur ing the' year, while the aggregate consumption was increased by more than 150,000 tons. Moreover, the prospects of the trade were never better than they are now. The foreign markets are in a most unsettled condition, our capacity of production is steadily increasing, and the de mand tor consumption goes on at an ac celerating ratio. .. . . New Advertisements.
